Name a game you hate but everyone else loves - Because you have opinions too <3

Okay, I was getting a bit too hung up over obvious bait and need to start acting less :autistic:. Starting now:

I don’t like Goldeneye on Wii. It’s a fine COD clone, but had little reason to be called “Goldeneye”. I mean the general plot structure is the same, but even then they modernized it with Daniel Craig-era shit. If you want to play a game on Wii that harkens back to Rareware’s classic FPSs, just get Timespliters 2 if your console is backcompat, it was made by Rareware vets, uses a modified versions of GE 64’s engine, it’s only like $20 and is just an overall fun FPS

I feel like a broken record every time I mention Resident Evil and tank controls. Which sucks because I like premise, I like survival horror, I don't mind that I'm not a rampaging badass and I recognize that without it, we probably wouldn't have survival horror as a genre but fuck tank controls and cheap jumpscares. Getting jumped by an enemy I couldn't see even though logically the characters could isn't scary, it's irritating.

I feel like I'm the only one who likes Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum the least out of all the mainline Pokemon games. I swear the nostalgia-blindness is enough for everyone but me to overlook the glaring technical problems that came with the first iteration of DS games as well as the slap-dash attempt at a plot. None of the online features even work anymore, so you can't even fall back on that excuse. I played it all the way to the end recently and don't understand what people see in these games.

The only RE game I liked was 7 but the ending kinda sucked.

I don't like the old tank-control games and I did play 1 and 2 back in the day. I love 4 a lot and 7 was okay. RE 2 Remake was fantastic.
 
It's funny because the REmake allowed you to disable character controls, and instead move in the direction you're pressing. This absolutely murdered the game's difficulty, ha.
 
Quake. All of them.

The single player games were competent, but they never really inspired me to care enough to replay them like Doom does.

Quake III Arena is fun and the bots are decent, but it's not a game I would compulsively pick back up.

They had incredible tech for their time but no soul, something that would become a trend for certain ID releases up until DOOM 2016 (depending on who you ask). They were competent and beautiful, but they felt hollow.
IMO they're a bit like Bethesda games in the sense that they don't really hit their strides until modding enters the picture. Quake was great once you started dicking around with its engine a bit.

I could never really get into Quake but I go back to Arena every once in a while. UT-GOTY & UT2004 I'll still play no problem. Those are like the height of pure focus and meditative action.
 
The whole Metal Gear franchise. I have tried to play most of them but I could never enjoy them. The only one I didn't try was MGS5 but I did try MGS5: Ground Zeroes when it was free for PS+.

The only exception is Metal Gear Rising. I did enjoy that one.

I'll raise you one better and say that most generations of Pokemon aren't that great. I've been a lifelong fan so I've played everything from GSC to SuMo and I have nostalgia for a lot of them, but the majority of main titles fall very, very flat.
If I had to pick a top 3 worst, it would be DPP, XY, then Sun and Moon/ORAS in order of least bad to most bad.

DPP is okay with me because it has some tough battles but it'll never match the Battle Tree in White 2.

People get butthurt when you say this stuff but I think we should just admit that a lot of us like the idea of Pokemon and the cute imaginary animals but the actual games leave a lot to be desired.
Off the top of my head, there's little replay value if you're not relying on a player-made challenge like Nuzlocke, they're extremely slow to get through (not just the beginning parts but the whole game), the writing is subpar and fails to make characters that you can care about (in fact a lot of the time they're just straight-up annoying), and they have been getting progressively easier.

They say Sword and Shield were supposed to be "disruptive" and take the series in a new direction but it looks really same old. And the starters are really ugly. But I'll probably buy it anyway... sigh

I've never been able to figure out what it is people enjoy about the Half-Life franchise. I tried my hardest to play through them to see what the deal was, but I could never play them for more than 20 minutes before my brain was screaming "stop playing this!"

Oh, and the Grand Theft Auto series. Open world games are a great concept on paper, until I play them and realize you can only enter about 10 out of the hundred buildings in the game. Paired with Rockstar always having the worst control schemes and boring characters, I still haven't finished a single one of them.
 
I nver was able to get into the typical RTS games like Commamd and Conquer or Starcraft or Company of Heroes. I do not mean RTS games as a whole as I was able to find my niche, The last one I ended up liking was either Age of Empires 2 or World in Conflict (if you would call the latter typical, since it was highly fast paste, woth some wargame and arcade-y elements).
